Alden Tyrell - Times Like These

Good synthy electronic albums are becoming as hard as hen's teeth to find these days. One recent release that has really caught my ears is Alden Tyrell's album 'Times Like These'.

A mix of nostalgic twists and basslines in the tracks and the superbly haunting melodies which have that same edge of Legowelt tracks makes for a great album, well worth buying. I'm particularly taken by 'Hills Of Honolulu' which features the ever great vocoder vocals and a bassline with great use of portamento to give a nice, solid synth track. 'Rendez Vous At Rimini' is in the same area-with haunting melodies playing dramatically through the track.

Its out on our friends Clone Records and is a must buy for the synthpop electro types! Juno have still have it in stock!

I find this album quite amazing. And exactly those two tracks are the ear-catchers for me too.
The vocal version of "Love Explosion" is another gem with its sweet melody and romantic lyrics.

I think I'll be visiting you(r blog) more often.
